GE - Casting

[Storfer, James]

 If anyone is interrested in doing something like what is stated below I
have a demel that can be used to create the mold <-hmmm is that the right
spelling seems to remind me of mildew... anyway... I am interested in
casting.. and would like to help regardless of how the tokens are to be
made... 

Godspeed,

James

To the interested lords and ladies of Gates Edge,

There are many combinations of materials (easily meltable) and mold
materials. I have produced two cavity molds by Dremmel tool in aluminum
and cast 300 tokens in spare time in about a week. The metal used for
the tokens was zinc (with a small amount of aluminum included to keep
the zinc bright) instead of lead to keep the lead away from young
children. Zinc melts between 600 - 800 degrees farenhight and casts
sharper than lead if the mold is kept hot. Zinc cools rapidly, breakes
off the sprue easily, & smooths quickly with file and sandpaper. It is
also remeltable like lead. A good source of the zinc is potmetal items
like old carburators and other small engine parts.
